Nourishing and Satisfying Power Bowls
A healthy and high protein meal that doesn’t skimp on flavor. These Ground Turkey Power Bowls check all the boxes. First of all—30-minute meal, yes please! These are also packed with smoky flavor, a variety of textures, and nutrient-rich ingredients that leave you feeling full, energized, and satisfied for hours.
I love making bowls because they are easy to customize with ingredients you enjoy or have on hand. For these power bowls you can swap out the turkey for lean ground beef, chicken, or make completely vegetarian. The toppings are where you can really get creative and have fun with what’s in season or simply your taste buds for the day.
Basic Ingredients For Ground Turkey Power Bowls
- Ground turkey– Or use lean ground beef or chicken.
- Sweet potato & corn– Lightly seasoned and pan roasted over the stove.
- Cottage cheese– A creamy, protein-rich alternative to sour cream or cheese.
- Fresh toppings-Tomatoes, avocado, cilantro, lettuce, and salsa.
- Black beans– Offer additional fiber and texture.
- Taco seasoning
Easy To Make Power Bowls
Step One. Pan roast sweet potatoes and corn with paprika, garlic powder, salt and pepper until tender. Remove from the pan and set aside.
Step Two. In the same skillet crumble and cook ground turkey until no longer pink, then stir in taco seasoning.
Step Three. Assemble bowls with cooked ground turkey, sweet potatoes and corn mixture, black beans, fresh toppings, a scoop of cottage cheese, and a spoonful of salsa.
Helpful Power Bowl Tips
- Swap Greek yogurt for cottage cheese if you want a tangier taste.

Meal Prep These Bowls
These bowls are perfect for meal prep and can even be enjoyed cold—like a taco salad. They will keep fresh in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. If you decide to heat up your bowl ingredients, make sure to store the cottage cheese, lettuce, cilantro, avocado, and tomatoes separately.
